Reflecting on that phase, Samay said, “During the time, I remembered George Orwell's line, ‘Every joke is a tiny revolution and the joke must never stop.’ But the police had also told me, ‘We will put you in jail.’ Then I thought if Orwell were in India, he would have said, ‘Every revolution is a tiny joke.’ I thought it made sense to say sorry, you can't bring a revolution in our society with a joke. You only fight when the fight is fair; if not, you should f*** off from there.” Despite past controversies, India’s Got Latent returned with Season 2 on June 20, 2026, releasing simultaneously on YouTube and Netflix. The new season opened strongly and quickly gained massive viewership.
